Critical Reviews

My Datsun Redigo has gone for an engine repair because the overheat, the indicator was not turned on when it should be. The aftersales service is also not honest as they suggest the wrong options to go with and risking the customer. They don't accept their own warranty.

Datsun redi-GO review

Things We Like in redi-GO

Spacious cabin: The redi go is amongst the most spacious entry-level hatchbacks. Its cabin can seat four people comfortably

Powertrain options: The redi go can be had with either a 0.8-litre engine or a 1.0-litre unit. Furthermore, the 1.0-litre engine is also available with an AMT (automated manual transmission)

AMT’s creep feature and manual mode: The redi go’s AMT has a creep feature, which lets the car crawl forward by itself when slotted in ‘D’ mode. This feature is helpful in traffic as the driver doesn’t have to feather the throttle to move the car forward. There’s also a manual mode on offer that allows changing gears at will

Detailed drive computer: The redi go is available with a drive computer right from the base variant. It reads instantaneous and average fuel efficiency, trip information and distance-to-empty as well

Things We Don't Like in redi-GO

Absence of ABS: ABS (anti-lock braking system) is a necessary safety feature to have as it can prevent accidents from occuring by reducing the stopping distance of a car and by allowing the driver to steer the car under hard braking

Absence of airbags: The redi go comes with a driver-side airbag, albeit on the top-spec variant. Dual airbags can save lives in the event of a head-on accident. We think they should be on offer as standard on all cars

Stand Out Features

185mm ground clearance: The redi go’s 185mm ground clearance is higher than its rivals. A car with high ground clearance can tackle obstacles and rough roads more easily than a low-slung one

AMT with creep & manual mode: The creep mode helps getting off the line (from a standstill) a breeze, especially in traffic. AMT with a manual option give more control over gear shifts

LED DRLs: The redi go is the only hatchback in its segment to offer LED DRLs (daytime running lamps). More than adding a dash of style, DRLs help other road users identify the car from a distance even in the daytime. Hence, they come across as a safety feature too

CarDekho Verdict

The redi go is a stylish and spacious hatchback that will appeal to those on a budget but still wish to stand out from the crowd.

"The high ground clearance and the convenience of an AMT (automated manual transmission) make it a practical city commuter"

Datsun’s 5-year/unlimited km warranty makes the redi go an attractive package. Since the redi go is not yet available with dual front airbags and ABS as standard, we’d limit ourselves to recommending the top S variant, which gets a driver-side airbag.
